Nitinol Sheet, Wire, Rod, Plate - Nitinol Semi-finished Product

Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy and the most well-known shape memory alloy. Nitinol is the intermetallic phase NiTi with an ordered cubic crystal structure, which differs from that of titanium and nickel. It consists mainly of nickel (about 55%) and a significant portion of titanium. The alloy can be used up to 650 °C, is corrosion-resistant, and has high strength, while being elastically deformable up to about 8%. The transformation temperature can be influenced by the alloying ratio. Nitinol alloys with a low transformation temperature, such as 0 °C, are colloquially referred to as superelastic. At room temperature, superelastic material behaves similarly to spring steel or spring wire. Nitinol is favored for surgical tools or implants due to its high deformability and good corrosion resistance, but it is also frequently used in commercial mechanical engineering.
